heh I used to be too lazy to walk to Sainsbury's from SHB, and we'll complain how that Sainsbury's earns more profit than any others in the area... now see how far away Shaw's is and how even more jacked up its prices are....

I want my 30p crackers and £1.50 bad wine

Prologue: The end of MIT, the beginning of wanderlust Julia

Summer 2008

Welcome to the chronicles of my wanderlust :-)
Everything this upcoming year brings --- (I think) this is what I have been wanting for a long while.

My last few days at MIT were absolutely amazing, I'm not even going to try to describe it. But those who know, know :-)

As much as I have come to enjoy (I don't think I can say love yet, but maybe almost?) MIT over this past year, the eternal wanderlust of my heart will not quiet down. I thought college away from home would pacify me, but I am still restless, even more than before.

Wanderlust is not just about walking, it's an irresistible desire to wander, to travel. Wanderlust is a primitive instinct of the whole body and soul, awake in different levels for different people. For me, it is always awake, never quiet, insatiable -- whispering in my ear, tugging my heartstrings away from wherever I am at present. My gaze constantly wanders off to the distance, to something more than what I have now. I don't know what I am searching for. I am searching for a sense of belonging, a peace of mind, an understanding of beauty... I just know I haven't found it yet.

"It can be understood more at a deep level of the human condition as a search for a new philosophy, religion or place. After gestation in the mind, wanderlust, like a locomotive chugging to final destiny, then takes a body on a restive trip that takes long time to accomplish.

In short, wanderlust is a trip, or a need to understand one's very existence, that starts with the first step of a long journey." (Wiki)

And so, my long journey begins.
